Figure 11. This is a satellite image captured on 9/12/01. It appears that the cloud emerging from the WTC site stays together until it reaches a particular altitude where it begins to just disperse. There appears to be a kink in the cloud trail where this occurs.(9/12/01) Source: space imaging:

Figure 12. Lower-left portion of previous image. This image was posted with the date of 9/12/01. However, the dark plume just west (or above?) the WTC complex and the denseness of the white fuming implies this photo was more likely captured on 9/11/01.(9/12/01) Source: space imaging:

Figure 19. Boiling a pot of water on the stove doesn't fill a kitchen with steam. If the flight 93 story were true, a view similar to the image above would be anticipated for the passengers on the left side of the plane. This flight was reported to have taken off from the Newark Airport at 8:42 AM and the WTC1 event was reported to have occurred at 8:46:26 AM. In essence, the passengers on "flight 93" would have had a front-seat view of the event.(9/12?/01) Source:

For a simple calculation, assume this plane has traveled about 20 miles since its wheels left the ground, and assume it's averate speed since taking off is 200 mph.
(20 miles)/(200 miles/hr.)*(60 min./hr.) = 6 min.

Figure 29. Record Breaking California WildfiresOn October 23rd 2007, the Terra-MODIS instrument captured this image of multiple wildfires and smoke driven by powerful Santa Ana winds in southern California. The fires flared up over the previous weekend, when temperatures surged past 110 degrees in some parts of the state, creating tinder-like conditions in areas already starved of water by an unusually dry winter. The wildfires have forced nearly 1/2 a million people to evacuate their homes from San Diego to just north of Los Angeles. Image by Ridgway & Hubanks, NASA GSFC. More RGB images of MODIS granules can be found in the L1B Granules section.

The Kuwaiti fires sent smoke out and up. The WTC sent opaque dust out and up and in the same way. For the WTC, the white-looking dust cloud stays together as it moves in a southern direction. It appears that when it gets above a particular altitude, it just disperses and no longer stays together. The same is true for the Kuwaiti fires. In the WTC photo, the cloud trail appears to have a kink in it where it changes behavior. The same appears to be true for the Kuwait photo, but it's hard to tell. Why are auto emissions and issue? What is air pollution?

Figure 40a and 40b. For the WTC samples, particle sizes below the (.09 to .24 micron) size range were not analyzes. But, as can be seen by the trend, the smaller the particle size, the more there was of it. Typically, the smaller the particle size, the less there is of it.Source: (original)

Excerpts from Dr. Thomas Cahill's website, where the data is presented.

"The new work helps explain the very fine particles and extraordinarily high concentrations found by an earlier UC Davis study, the first to identify very fine metallic aerosols in unprecedented amounts from Ground Zero. It will be essential to understanding the growing record of health problems."

.......

"The new study also confirms, Cahill said, that the very fine particles observed were almost totally from the trade center debris pile and not from other upwind sources, such as power plants and the diesel trucks used to haul away the debris.

In that hot pile, some of the debris' constituent elements combined with organic matter and abundant chlorine from papers and plastics, and then escaped to the surface as metal-rich gases. These then either burned or chemically decomposed into very fine particles capable of penetrating deeply into human lungs.

In the trade-center air samples, Cahill identified four classes of particles that have been named by the EPA as likely to harm human health:

* Fine and very fine transition metals, which interfere with lung chemistry.
* Acids, in this case sulfuric acid, which attack cilia and lung cells directly.
* Very fine, un-dissolvable (insoluble) particles, in this case glass, which travel through the lungs to the bloodstream and heart.
* High-temperature organic matter, many components of which are known to be carcinogens.

"For each of these four classes of pollutant, we recorded the highest levels we have ever seen in over 7,000 measurements we have made of very fine air pollution throughout the world, including Kuwait and China," Cahill said.

After the debris fire was out, pollution levels dropped, Cahill said. DELTA Group measurements at the trade-center site made in May 2002, with the American Lung Association of New York, showed that levels of almost all of the very fine components had declined more than 90 percent,"
